“For us the match with Portalberese is the real derby of this group, in the hope of being able to play the one with Apos Stradella – declares Civardi – there is a lot of anticipation and emotion for this match, but we must live it with tranquility and with right awareness in our strength. The Portalberese of mister Tondo always gets to fight for the top positions every year, so she deserves the utmost respect.

However, I see a substantial difference, for us it is not a fundamental match, for them it is. I have great respect for Broni, a great team with a solid company behind them, built to win the championship, but I’m not afraid of anyone. I am proud to lead a small company that every year is respected by everyone and my boys would not exchange them with anyone else. With very little we are doing a lot, testifying to the great work of my boys ». –
